While talking to the 40dice player in our group about my plans to gather 24 dice for dodging, he tells me he can beat that with his current stats. :P Of course, I'm shocked so I ask him how since he's never done it.

My way (Grade 3 Initiate):
Force 6 Quickened Deflect +
Force 6 Quickened Combat Sense +
Force 6 Quickened Improved Willpower +
Natural stats of 7 Willpower, 6 Int, and 5 Quickness = 24 dice.

His way (Grade 3 Initiate):
Enhanced Sense: Balance Augmentator 0.25 PP
Improved Athletics: 9
Natural Athletics: 6
Natural stats of 6 Willpower, 6 Quickness, and 4 Intelligence = 8 + (15D6 TN 2) which averages 20 dice, but can (if no 1's are rolled) be 23 dice for Dodging....

So, guess I'm doing "The Matrix" version of dodging bullets while standing still as they fly past in slow motion with visible ripples, and he's doing "The Matrix" version of Neo entering that 'Fortress' with a bomb. ;)

Ok, NOW you guys are invited to make your ever lovely comments about Hackmaster +12, Chelsea the cow, and any other munchkin type reaction that you prefer. I've just been getting more and more into a number crunching mood (thanks to so many people telling me what a horrible thing it is to do) and am now going to see what kinda cyber dodging I can conjure up to be comparable to the Shaman and Adept. ;)

Edit: BTW, his way is using the Optional Rules about using Athletics for Dodging in the Cannon Companion on page 97. Rules I forgot even existed.
